Working hard with @Levi_Borovychok on her amazing project. She is opening a centre for Polish & Ukrainian youth, here in Warsaw. We need funding ideas and yes I will be running history & culture seminars/workshops.
It is a great way to help young Polish & Ukrainian youth!!

She is buried in Powązki Military Cemetery, and when I tour guide there, I make sure to take my guests to see her grave and lay flowers. She is and always will be remembered.

In a letter my grandfather wrote to his father, the General, he states that she is still alive because his friend saw her a few days before capitulation.
But she must have died not long after seeing this friend.

My great-grandmother worked at the Elizabethan Sisters Hospital in Mokotów as a nurse & messenger & she died a few streets away.

Till the late 1940's my family believed she was still alive.

#OTD in 1944, during the #WarsawUprising, my beautiful great-grandmother, Zofia Langner, codename "Złomir" was killed during the bombing of Mokotów. The district was heavily targeted by the Luftwaffe and German heavy artillery because Mokotów was one of the last districts to fall.

Jog on and stop invading places and trying to destroy other cultures. Stay in your own lane.

Note I said the word "trying"..... clearly you didn't succeed and this is one of the many reasons why you continue to push your shitty narrative. But I'm sorry to tell you..... it hasn't worked AGAIN.

👋🏼 Oh Oh ME ME! 👋🏼 "Western pseudo-historian" here!

It is that time of year again when you chat so much bullshit about YOUR invasion of Poland..... yes I said INVASION. One day you might (probably not ever) decide to accept your role alongside the Germans in trying to destroy Poland.

From my pretty 👗blue dress ➡️ biker gear in a matter of hours! And no I did not ride in the dress 🤣 but I have done so in the past. I had it over my biker gear and it looked pretty epic!

Unfortunately not this time. I was on the bike earlier in the day, and I got super sweaty, so I took a shower and had nice clean hair so they could style it.

You are a charmer my friend!
